In June, the maximum day temperature in Washington does not exceed 30 degrees, and the minimum night temperature is about 20 degrees, and most of the time is between 16-18 degrees.

Compared with other areas of Washington, DC, the temperature at night by Luoying Lake is cooler. The night wind is mixed with the hazy and humid smell of the lake, as gentle as a lover's hand gently brushing across his face. You can hear the vague sound of frogs coming from afar, with a hint of tranquility and warmth that does not belong to the city.

"Goodbye Xiao Ben, I wish you a wonderful night." Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison said goodbye. From the name, you can hear that Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison had a pleasant conversation.

Benjamin Harrison is about 1.68 meters tall, so he has a nickname called "Xiao Ben". However, few people dare to call Benjamin Harrison in person. Even if he is a political enemy of the Democratic Party, he will only complain behind his back. Of course, Li Mu has this qualification, but if he is having fun, Li Mu will not be so indulgent.

Although friends have close relationships, they will also be sensible. It is harmless to make jokes, but it will help increase feelings. Especially for successful people like Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison who have outstanding achievements in their respective fields, the friendship between them is even more rare.

"Damn the arms dealer, get out of here, I wish you a fall into the lake." Benjamin Harrison was of course angry, but he was helpless. He felt a sense of gratitude deep in his heart that he had not even discovered it.

People have feelings. Whether they are in a high position or not, friendship is especially more precious than other feelings because it is hard-won and relaxed. Friendship seems particularly precious in the position of Benjamin Harrison. This does not mean that Benjamin Harrison lacks friendship, but lacks friends who do not mix with interest relationships.

In fact, strictly speaking, the relationship between Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison is also entangled with interests. It seems that the relationship between Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison seems to be the kind of "official and business collusion" that everyone criticizes, but this is not important. Compared with pure interest relationships, it is rare for Li Mu and Benjamin Harrison to have friendship. Sometimes in this world, we cannot be too serious. Too serious is often very tiring to live, and Benjamin Harrison is undoubtedly a smart person, so-

Not bad, isn't it!

According to the scheduled plan, Li Mu went to the Presidential Palace to pay homage to Hayes early the next morning, and made every effort to urge Hayes to authorize the Far East Company to launch an attack on the Spaniards on behalf of the War Department.

The communication with Hayes went smoothly. Hayes did not cause trouble for Li Mu, and simply agreed to Li Mu's request. This was not beyond Li Mu's expectations. In Li Mu's opinion, if Hayes was a smart person, he should agree to Li Mu's proposal, otherwise it would not be certain who this honor belongs to.

According to the plan of the Ministry of War, if we want to form an absolute advantage over the Spaniards, at least we have to wait until the Pacific Fleet has combat effectiveness. In this way, even the war against the Spaniards will be delayed until around 1880. After all, the Pacific Fleet is just an empty shell, and even only has a pitiful four or five warships. In terms of quantity, it does not have the strength to form an absolute advantage over the Spaniards in the Far East. Moreover, the navy's combat effectiveness is far more complicated than the army. Even if George Dewey is an outstanding naval general, it will take a long process.

Corresponding to the navy is the training of the army. Attacking the Spaniards in the Philippines, the ordinary army is not very useful. The Pacific Fleet needs to train an amphibious force familiar with island combat in a short period of time. This is another challenge, because in the current world, no country has made any attempts in this regard, even the British with the strongest military strength in the world.

Well, the British did not need amphibious troops at all. As long as the British put out their battleships, they could basically conquer any country in the world. Amphibious troops or something, and the British had no need for this.

Relatively speaking, a private military contractor company like the Far East Company has many favorable conditions that the War Department does not have. For example, the Far East Company does not have to be afraid of failure. Even if the first attack is not successful, the Far East Company can organize a second time calmly without worrying about disrupting morale. For example, the Far East Company does not have to cherish its feathers. They can use any means to deal with the Spaniards in the Philippines without worrying about humanitarian pressure from the international community. For example, the Far East Company has a strong strength that the War Department is far from enough. At least in terms of financial strength, the Far East Company with many tycoons can completely destroy the War Department. What's more wonderful is that the Far East Company does not need the approval of an organization called "Congress" for money.

After such a comprehensive analysis, the options left for Hayes are extremely limited. After all, Hayes is not sure whether he can be re-elected as the next president. Judging from the current situation, it is probably not possible. So if you don’t want to work hard to make wedding clothes for others, then the Far East Company will almost become Hayes’ only option.

After ending his trip to the Presidential Palace, Li Mu returned to New York first, while Rockefeller wanted to stay in Washington. He had to wait for Congress to review and vote before leaving Washington.

Almost as Li Mu returned to New York, Far East Company officially began recruiting workers in a two-story stone building on a remote street in Brooklyn County.

That's right, Far East Company is starting to "recruit workers", but Far East Company does not need skilled workers, but they want those cowboys with superb marksmanship or fishermen who are proficient in water. As long as they are willing to go to Far East for adventure, they can come to Far East Company to register. Once they are admitted to Far East Company, they will earn more than $150 a month. This income is not too high in New York, but there is another point that Far East Company promises that all the property they obtain during the adventure belongs to their personal property, which is truly attractive.

"Yes, as long as you can hit 9 out of ten shots on a 50-meter chest target, or you can travel back and forth in the East River, then you can sign up. Far East welcomes all the unwilling guys. This is an adventure concentration camp. Maybe you will go to Far East once and you will be a rich man when you come back-" In front of the Far East Company, several staff members holding iron horns are working hard to recruit employees. Each of them is surrounded by a large group of people, but not many people actually entered the Far East Company's gate.

"All the girls in my family can do it, are your requirements too low?" Some people don't understand the requirements of Far East Company. In the eyes of most people, this requirement is indeed not high. Even for a cowboy who uses guns all year round, this is not a requirement. Many cowboys can do this, and they are on the running horseback.

"In fact, this requirement only means that you can shoot. I believe that as long as you can pick up the gun, you can do it, so what are you waiting for? The opportunity is in front of you. If you don't grasp it now, I promise you will regret it. Not all companies are so generous to our Far East company." The staff members' mouths were splashing. This was not a fool, but the requirement was so low.

Although the Spaniards have been developing in the Philippines for hundreds of years, according to the information obtained by the Far East Company, the Spanish have not developed thoroughly. At present, the Philippines has only been initially developed in Manila and a few big cities, and more land is still dense forests. Therefore, too exquisite marksmanship is a bit wasteful at this time. The battle of the jungle is more of a small-scale battle that suddenly occurs. At this time, the requirements for marksmanship are not high, and more tests are reaction speed and response ability.

In order to address this situation, Li Mu also adjusted the weapons equipment of the Far East Company's military personnel. In Li Mu's plan, the Far East Company will equip more shotguns and serve a certain number of bullet-type rifles and light machine guns. As for heavy machine guns, it is not enough, but they cannot be used in jungle wars. Maybe the heavy machine guns have not been installed during the battle, and the battle will be over.

"All the property obtained belongs to the individual, is there any restriction?" Someone asked about this.

In fact, this should be the tradition of many military forces. Many times, the army will use this as a gimmick to attract more people to work hard, but it will often go back on its word when it is executed. If soldiers get something worthless during the battle, it will be fine. Those with a little value will often be "acquired" by officers at a low price. Generally speaking, no one dares to refuse such a transaction. Otherwise, those unlucky people will not even get the humble compensation.

"There is no restriction. You have to know who our boss is. They are the richest group in the world. Perhaps the only thing that can make them moved is the treasure house of the kingdom. So don't worry, the bosses still look down on your little money."

They really don’t like it. What Li Mu and the others want are mines, plantations, and various industrial raw materials in the Philippines. These things cannot be moved away. As for the soldiers’ capture, Li Mu and the others have not been so despicable and cannot afford to lose this person.

"Do it! I'm the one." With a heavy reward, someone finally sold the first step.

"Why not? I'm going to grab the gems from the Emperor of Qing Dynasty's hat—" This is obviously a person who has not figured out the situation yet, but having a dream is a good thing-

"I'm just one. I never want to carry my bags on the dock again. $150 is not much in New York, but I think it should be pretty good in the Far East." This is a pragmatic, but he was right. In the Far East, if you earn $150 a month, even if you can't be called a rich man, you're definitely much better than most people.

People have herd mentality. Since some people sell the first step, someone will respond immediately. Several staff members holding iron trumpets were very happy. Judging from this posture, they can complete the task in half a month at most.

Most of the people who come to register are white, and occasionally blacks and Easterners. It is not uncommon for blacks to register. Although slavery has been abolished in the United States, blacks are still generally discriminated against, so if there is a chance to change their destiny, blacks are willing to take a try.

Orientals are more rare. Although the Constitution states that everyone is equal, an indisputable fact is that in New York, if you have black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin, you will indeed be taken care of when looking for a job. These people are basically Chinese. Even if they don’t work in Junma Group, they will be welcomed to other companies. After all, the hard work of Chinese people is recognized.

There are worlds where there are people. In any case, the United States is still a white country. When Chinese people receive some kind of benefits similar to "unspoken rules", some people will be dissatisfied with it. So when three Chinese people walk into the Far East Company gate, some people will say strange things sarcastically.

"Oh, what did I see? Orientals also signed up. I think they must not figure it out. There is no shortage of workers here, this is a paradise for adventurers--"

Not bad, at least some derogatory terms are not used to refer to those Chinese. In the past few years, some people used words like "yellow-skinned monkey" to refer to Chinese people. Now there is no more. If someone dares to say this, the men in black in the streets will let them know how powerful the "yellow-skinned monkey" is.

"Man in Black" is the name New York citizens call the security staff of Chuntian Security Company. They are always dressed in black and are serious, but they are cruel and ruthless when dealing with criminals. They often see blood when they take action, and their bones are light. As long as they encounter resistance, they will be shot dead on the spot.

Although this situation makes many newspapers with Democratic attributes dislike it, what makes them helpless is that although many of the men in black are Chinese, there are also many white people. And every time a man in black performs a mission, at least one Chinese is paired with a white person, which makes people unable to find an excuse to attack the men in black, and the Federation of Presses does not allow them to do that.

"Shut up, if you spray feces all over your mouth, I will definitely knock your teeth off." Those who can walk into the Far East company are naturally not easy to meet. The leading Chinese man immediately retorted. He speaks fluently in English, has a Springfield accent, and is strong in shape, cold expression, and looks very intimidating.

At least it is more intimidating than the idiot with acne and freckles on their faces that he laughed at just now.

"Are you looking for a beating? You must not know how powerful a bad guy Bill is. It seems that I want to teach you a lesson so that someone will think that someone can walk into this door." The young man named Bill is also a bit hot. The nickname "Bad guy" is not worth being proud of, as for what he said?

Those who are willing to go to the Far East to take risks, in fact, every good person finds that there is fun. Not only does this group of people not dissuading them, but instead takes the initiative to give up a large open space and watch the fun around them. There are also a few guys who are eager to try and want to open the market. For a moment, the ghosts and wolves howl very lively.
